ATM I am finding it a real bitch to get the stock pump out. (bloody Japanese with thier small hands)

just a universal fit and you're not the lone ranger there they are a real bitch.
You must need fingers that are 6 inches long with 8 knuckles on each. lol
well I got the pump out, all worked fine when fed 12V, plenty of flow, but the pump is only getting 7V through the stock wiring, so I am going to run a fresh 12V feed through a relay tomorrow when I can get to the shops.
Also tomorrow I get new indicators, and maybe my new brake lever if it has come in?
All the switch gear works which is nice, all headlights etc work. yay.
Cool, sounds like you're motoring along nicely. It's good to see so many new and individual projects all starting up at the same time.
God I hate sanding.
Have started sanding/stripping the rear plastics and hugger and tank, ready to be painted black.
God it is so painful and boring. especially when you dont seem to be making progress.
That's what MATT black is for - saves on prep time
yes it will be matte black, just trying to get the old cracked paint off first
currently saying f' it.
Just gonna spray matte black over existing paint for now, ride for a couple months, then maybe pull it off the road and give it a proper paint job including the engine etc.
well I am back from a one week holiday in NZ.
Today I fitted my new AUSFR twin headlight setup, which is just wonderful.
Also painted one half of the tail unit matte black to see how it looks, and have decided to do the rest too.
Still unsure as to whether I will paint the engine yet.
Also today I am working on making a new front guard fit that was kindly donated by ZX12argh.
Still to do it wire up indicators, mount dash somehow, fix the fuel pump thats acting funny, as well as fit some mirrors. Then I shall be ready to do the paper work side of things to get her on the road.
Today I made some progress:
Re-routed a lot of the main harness from outside to behind the frame, looks a lot better, hopefully tomorrow I can get some heat shielding to prevent any damage to the wiring from engine heat, but it seems fine.
Also sorted out fuel pump problem, don't know what it was exactly, Gave it a good clean up, ran my own relay and all seems sweet with it.
Also fixed a slight starting problem, and had it running for about an hour today so the battery is nice and charged.
Getting nice and close now. I think my biggest hurdle will be mirrors, as it has solid bar ends, so that option is out. and I do not know if I will be able to find the room on the stock clip ons to fit a bracket. we shall see.
without pictures how do i know you didnt spend all day watching old vhs tapes of 80's ballet and shaving your legs? pictures man!!!
Your clip -ons should be alloy? you could drill them out and fit bar end mirrors... Throw up some pics!
I shall post up some pics soon, uploading them now.quote:Originally posted by lewis

Here is the new headlights and front guard on, still need to mount the dash somehow and tidy the wiring (partly done now).
This is a general shot, with half the tail unit painted. almost finished painting all the bodywork now, should be done by then end of the week. then I just have the radiator and back wheel to paint.
This is figuring out the fuel pump problem. You can see the coolant bottle zip tied to the frame is holding the fuel, and the pump is zip tied to the frame also. But it runs, so thats the important part.
getting there mate. Maybe chuck the guages out and fit a small digi dash? I know they are pricey but it would clean the front end right up, or if funds don't allow it (as most of ours don't) use a pushy speedo?
nah I am quite happy to use the original dash for a while until funds allow a new unit. Looking at getting one of these down the track:
At the moment the main focus is paint and getting it all back together so I can take it for its first ride.
Also must sort out my mirrors....
looking real good mate doing well
Would look something like this then if you go with Matte Black, Shit hot with a single swinger to!!
umm.... No thanks.
I like my bikes NAKED!
I wish I could afford a single swinger conversion though, that would be sweet.
Looking good mate.
